New HL for this CPU. I'm still waiting on the AfterPay Day deals next week. Even though I think it won't get much better than this. Enjoy!

15% is a big hit when ordering stuff like that lol. Wasn't the norm around 10%?
yeah, it's a pretty huge chunk of change. and of course the staff who do the restocking in question probably see $0 of it.
They get paid by the hour. The store owner reaps all the benifits from a 'restock'.
@teddiebear: That would be the nasty store owner who paid in advance for a product that a customer reneged on purchasing?
Damn that conniving bastard for not showering their staff with bonuses as a result of losing a sale…
@UncleRico: Realistically they wouldn't be losing a sale unless they ran out of stock, they would just be losing the cost of a label and packaging tape.
@UncleRico: I'm not bad mouthing the store owner. It's their money, good on em. Imagine if Target, kmart, bigW, HN, Bing lee all charged a restock fee for returning the wrong size or wrong purchase choice. Nobody would shop there if they charged such a high amount for a return. $150 for every $1k?? Pretty bloody steep dude!
@teddiebear: You are only thinking about high value item. What about 15% on the items that are $20. 15% on this item is very little. The store owner loses money on the administration. Remember there are people to process, pick and labelling. And account to process the invoice and refund.
The owner just set a standard restocking fees for everything.
@Smaster: 15% is still 15%. $1000 worth of product is STILL $150. Might take 40× $25 items to reach $1000 worth, 15% of $25= $3.75. $3.75×40=$150. Doesn't matter if it's big or small items, it still adds up because it's still 15%
@Smaster: 15% is approx the margin on a lot of PC retail items. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the average.
By charging a 15% restock fee and keeping the stock unopened/unshipped, they are effectively double dipping. A more reasonable restock fee would be 15% or the shipping & handling fee, whichever is lesser, since it doesn't cost them $300 to restock a cancelled $2k order.
Sometimes I just wish JB hifi started selling computer components haha
I couldn't do it any longer. This is the price I pulled the trigger (which means everyone else is welcome when it ends up $50 cheaper next week haha)
Thanks OP, ordered
Computer Alliance only $20 more! Which you could sell for more than that $20 easily!

?
Whoopsie
*Computer Alliance only $20 more which includes Starfield! Which you could sell for more than that $20 easily!
scorptec included starfield, too?
@NoApostrophePlurals: My bad, I just ordered and it includes a line for Starfield promo. I said no above because scorptec isn't listed as a participating retailer on the AMD website!
Scorptec participates also
@Lastora: Are you sure? Scorptec website has no mention, unlike all the other participating websites. Where are you getting this information?
The AAMD site also does not list scorptec
@NoApostrophePlurals: Odd, but they list this on their product page, just do a search:
Redeem Starfield from AMD if purchased before 30th Sept 2023 (T&C's Apply)
@Lastora: I see it now! A small line in tiny font, easily missed. Why would they not make it more obvious??
People are saying aferday pay day a lot, really hope there are some good deals!
$654 shipped (express) on eBay with eBay Plus (scorptec ebay) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/266336430153
$2 more expensive vs this deal considering delivery cost is ~$13
Cheaper if you have discounted gift cards.
Also, would this still grant you the Starfield Standard code? The CPU is still coming from Scorptec.
Computer Alliance is honouring the promotion from qualifying products purchased on their eBay store:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/790419#comment-14085259Confirned on my invoice, it says
1 X 104765 - Merchandise - Giveaway Stock - AMD - CPUQ323-STARFIELD-CODE
AMD Ryzen CPU Q323 Game Code - Starfield (Standard / Premium Edition)This will be for standard edition as per AMD promo.
Neat! I had bought the CPU like 2 hours prior to commenting from ebay, was just making sure I would get the game too xD
Just go clarify, I bought from scorptec, not the computer Alliance eBay deal, but from the thread you posted, computer alliance are giving codes to eBay sales until they run out of codes.
@NoApostrophePlurals: Yeah, I also bought from scorptec, was posting another retailer's eBay store as reference. I'll see what the invoice shows when I get it.
No price movement on the step down AM5 chips yet… hopefully the drops trickle through to 7700, 7600 …..
Is it common to charge 1% surcharge for debit/credit card orders? My recent order from JW didn't have it.
I paid via bank deposit, no fees
Guess who ordered one yesterday. Yet to pick it up…will they refund me the difference?
getting harder and harder to hodl.. maybe i place c&c and cancel if it goes lower next week 🤔
don't think they have a restocking fee..nevermind, they do'minimum 15%' is very suspect sounding.
